Arctic Monkeys recently returned to live action with a sensational show at the O2 Academy Brixton.
Aided and abetted by superstar project Them Crooked Vultures, Arctic Monkeys played a sensational set. Sprinkling the night with some old favourites, the band performed a number of tracks from their new album ‘Humbug’.
Released on August 24th, ‘Humbug’ has become one of the band’s most successful to date. Bowling over fans with its grandiose melancholia, it recalls Alex Turner’s side project Last Shadow Puppets yet retains the Sheffield group’s trademark guitar crunch.
With a headline slot at Reading and Leeds still to come, Arctic Monkeys looked on ferocious form. Watch the best of the action courtesy of ClashMusic…
